I'm not sure the _and_unref version is what we want here. The
documentation for qdev_realize_and_unref says:

  * If you are embedding the device into some other QOM device and
  * initialized it via some variant on object_initialize_child() then
  * do not use this function, because that family of functions arrange
  * for the only reference to the child device to be held by the parent
  * via the child<> property, and so the reference-count-drop done here
  * would be incorrect. For that use case you want qdev_realize().
Yes indeed, you're right - I missed this when porting it over from the old i8259_init_chip() function. Even more amusing is that there is currently no isa_realize() function, so this is obviously the first container device being implemented for use on the ISA bus.

I'll add a suitable isa_realize() function in v3.


ATB,

Mark.
